Just be a Democrat. It’s a lot easier.
Trump should absolutely take this deal and maybe even go even further. Heck, he could save the Republican Party’s future if he just went full populist on healthcare. This would actually be better than Obamacare for whatever it’s worth. I’ve long said Republicans can take healthcare as an issue away from Democrats if they just do it correctly policy wise.

Look at how tariffs stack up with other priorities for American workers. Even if they were popular (they’re not) — and even if they didn’t raise costs (they’re do) —spending enormous political capital on them when the dominant concern is cost of living = political malpractice.

I don’t think you can understand the results in the South this week without appreciating that trade and open markets have been a boon there, that growth is a part of the culture, and that Trump has won there in spite of the economic populism, not because of it.

Upper-middle class urbanites seeing that ‘Corruption’ was a major issue in exit polls: “Wow, the voters are really sick of Jared Kushner’s back-channel negotiations with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman!”
The actual voters: “Trump and Epstein killed and ate JonBenét Ramsey”

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie tells @politico he will trigger his resolution to impeach Pete Hegseth Monday or Tuesday.
That will force a vote on the House floor Weds or Thurs.
GOP leadership worries it could pass the House. They also have attendance problems post midterms. Massie’s resolution will be “nearly identical” to his earlier version, he says.

Massive undercovered media story: The number of influencers who are paid to produce content/shape opinion and don't disclose their funding sources.
It produces huge distortion in the news/information marketplace and rewards, often very handsomely, the worst actors.

I am just a tad skeptical that Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and Lisa Murkowski will spend the lame duck after Republican Ragnarok pre-confirming Donald Trump's lifetime Supreme Court nominee

Just a friendly reminder that the permanent Republican majority lasted from 2004 to 2006. And the generational Democratic majority last from 2008 to 2010. Granted, that was a function of the choices both fleeting majorities made.

Look at the clown show. @SusieWiles47 is right. A majority support the GOP on immigration. Even more oppose how cruelly it was implemented. The process, not the policy, drove Hispanics away from the GOP.

.@mkhammer and I talk about this on Normally today. Voters wanted Republican policies in many states, just not the Republican candidates. omny.fm/shows/normally/norma…

Let them do it.
My guess is, like Trump's gerrymandering, this will ultimately backfire.
These idiots on both sides think they are smarter than the system. They aren't. See Trump and gerrymandering, or Obama/Reid with judicial filibusters.

If the GOP doubles down on white nationalism, which the Blaze wants, yesterday is only the beginning of the wipe out and it will be deserved.
DEMOGRAPHICS MATTER
@AuronMacintyre: "We have to have a hard discussion about the fact the literally no ethnic minority overwhelmingly votes Republican. Why import people you know are going to vote against you?"

Liberals (and maybe POTUS/VPOTUS too) do not understand that this era’s populist revolt is not clamor for more Washington. Today’s populist see Big Biz & Big Gov’t as intertwined evils. More of either is not what they want.
House Dem Leader @RepJeffries to me this morning, post-blue wave:
"Clearly, things aren’t going right for the American people. Capitalism is broken in the way in which it is being experienced by so many working-class Americans and middle-class Americans."
